"If you walk a mile in my shoes you’ll end up in a gin bar" ~Anon I had the pleasure of touring the Lone Pine distillery in Edmonton and meeting the gracious host and owner Bryan Anderson.  The space is light and airy with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the bar.  Take a step into the back and it's all business, with towering equipment perfectly gleaming at you from every corner of the room.  Top it all off with two towering twin column 18-foot-high distillation towers and you know your in a distillery!  I got to sample the range of spirits being created and they ar ..read more

The only difference is there aren’t many job interviews where you’ll wind up naked" ~Jerry Seinfeld For every bad thing lockdown has shown us, there has been a few little gems that have come from our current situation that I hope stay around for a lot longer than Covid!  Zoom for one thing has been quite the revelation hasn't it?  Whether you use it for work or pleasure, it has allowed us to be together when we must stay apart.  The cooking school I work for is now totally virtual (check out the fabulous range ..read more

“May the New Year bring you courage to break your resolutions early! My own plan is to swear off every kind of virtue, so that I triumph even when I fall.”  ~Aleister Crowley As soon as I awoke on New Years day the "go dry" adverts started popping up in my social media feeds.  I know quite a few people who are heading down that path.  I have tried and failed this a few times over the years.  I start with great intentions and then on a Friday night when I would normally be mixing up a delightful cocktail, I give in.  I love mixing up a great home cocktail and consid ..read more

"Me: Alexa, remind me to go to the gym.  Alexa: I have added gin to your shopping list" ~Annon Merry Christmas, happy new year and all that jazz.  It's been an embarrassingly long time since I graced this space but if you have nothing interesting to say you should perhaps just keep quiet until you do.  That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.   I have quite a few delicious cocktails to share, a new local Alberta gin to review and even a no alcohol gin review (don't worry, it's not all dry January preachy, I promise).  I will be sharing some recipes for homemade b ..read more

"There's no panic like the panic you momentarily feel when your hand or head is stuck in something" ~Peter Kay The world is a different place right now.  Our new normal is embracing life at home as much as we can.  I honestly don't know what this will look like in a few days, weeks or months but I know that if I don't do something I might go a little crazy.  The idea of homeschooling my kids fills me with dread!  Im not qualified, I am terrible at spellings and I have forgotten everything I ever learned in maths on purpose!   I might have had a slight meltdown the other day in my truck a ..read more
